Two days after the Cowboys' 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona, owner‑coach Jerry Jones says the defensive collapse doesn't merit major changes. He stresses the unit is still in a rebuilding phase that began last season, noting turnover in defensive coordinators and a roster overhaul featuring rookies Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence. Jones points to the first‑half performance—holding the Cardinals to 3 points and sacking them five times—as evidence the defense is trending upward, despite the second‑half lapse.

Cintrón, hired in November 2025 from the Astros, will focus on the farm system after helping the Rangers finish 80‑82, tied for eighth in wRC+ but only 25th in runs (673) in 2026. The staff otherwise remains intact under manager Skip Schumaker.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer says in‑game adjustments are the core of coaching, admitting the team failed to adapt enough in the 33‑30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 2. He highlighted the Cardinals’ second‑half surge—467 total yards, Tyler Allgeier’s 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Michael Wilson’s 111 receiving yards and the game‑tying score with six seconds left, plus Trey McBride’s late touchdown. Schottenheimer stressed limiting opponents’ playmakers, getting the ball to Dallas’ stars, and the staff’s self‑critical film study as they seek solutions. The Cowboys, now 3‑5, head to Indianapolis on Nov. 8.

Two days after a 33-30 overtime defeat to the Arizona Cardinals, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly defended quarterback Dak Prescott, insisting he isn’t injured or distracted despite questions about his health, focus and age. Jones highlighted Prescott’s 195‑yard, 1‑TD performance (19‑of‑29, 7 rushes for 20 yards) and praised his play given poor protection—Dallas was sacked four times and averaged just 2.4 yards per carry. Both Joneses blamed blocking lapses, while coach Brian Schottenheimer called Prescott a competitor. The Cowboys, now 3‑5, head to Indianapolis to face the Colts on Nov. 8.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s early struggles are expected, calling the team’s growing pains “no surprise.” Schottenheimer is 10-14-1 in his second season, with a 3-5 record after a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

With captain Patrick Kane sidelined, the Chicago Blackhawks hoped to call up 21‑year‑old prospect Nick Lardis for their three‑game road trip, but Lardis injured his lower body in a 4‑3 win over the Texas Stars and will miss 1‑2 weeks. In his seven games with the Rockford IceHogs, he posted three goals and four assists, a bright spot for a club that has only 22 goals in its first ten games. Instead, the Blackhawks recalled 29‑year‑old Dillon Boucher, a minor‑league winger who offers far less impact than Lardis. Prospects Sacha Boisvert and AJ Spellacy remain point‑less, leaving General Manager Kyle Davidson with limited options.
“It was a tale of two halves, for sure,” head coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the Dallas Cowboys lost their Week 8 matchup 33-30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals.

While Mark Cuban retained a 27% stake after selling his controlling interest in 2023, the Dumonts can purchase an additional 20% from him by 2027 at a $3.5 billion valuation, potentially boosting their ownership to 89%. The duo plans to build a new, world‑class arena on a 104‑acre north‑Dallas site, as the current American Airlines Center lease ends in 2031.
